Don Desfosse Share Posted September 4, 2015 While I generally hesitate to suggest an event that could occur during a sporting event that a lot of our controllers might want to watch, I wonder if there's enough interest between us and ZOB to have a quick crossfire event either on, or leading up to, Thursday night. I'd normally suggest Wednesday, but there's already an event scheduled (http://www.vatusa.net/forums/index.php?action=calendar) What do you think? Any interest? Can we put together something with ZOB that fast? Should we shoot for Thursday with a second choice of Tuesday or Monday? Or just do it on one of the other days if folks will be too busy watching the game? ----- Uppin' the Air - Boston/Pittsburgh Crossfire Date - Times Check your tires for proper inflation before you come fly in a friendly crossfire event between Pittsburgh and Boston. Instead of shooting properly inflated balls into the air, our excellent ATC teams will be shooting properly inflated aircraft toward each other. The ATC team that catches more passes leading to a touchdown (lands more aircraft) wins! ----- EDIT: Changed order of PIT and BOS to subliminally suggest that all aircraft should come in to KBOS... :) Don Desfosse (DO) Vice President, VATSIM Division Director Emeritus, VATUSA Air Traffic Manager Emeritus, Boston ARTCC Boston ARTCC - Where Excellence is Routine!

Clif Whitten Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'll reach out to ZOB to see if there is any interest on their end. In the meantime, informal poll for available controllers for Thursday? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment
Camden Bruno Share Posted September 4, 2015 If it happens then I wouldn't be able to make it until after 9PM or so, if at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Clif Whitten Share Posted September 8, 2015 Having heard nothing back from the ZOB EC, I'm going to say this one is a no-go. Great idea, Don! Thanks for the proposal. Link to comment
